9. The Time of My Life

9/ The Time of My Life Mrs. took me into the hall. She wiped my face with a tissue. And we talked about my graduation gown. Mrs. said I would look darling in that dotty thing. 'Cause purple is her favorite color. Plus grape juice is her favorite kind of drink. I kept on crying. 'Cause I didn't actually buy it, that's why. Pretty soon, Mother and Daddy came hurrying to Room Nine. They brought Grampa Miller with them. Their eyes popped out at my spotty, dotty gown.

夫人把我领进大厅。 她用纸巾擦我的脸。 我们还谈到了我的毕业礼服。 太太说我穿上那件娃娃会很可爱。 因为紫色是她最爱的颜色 而且葡萄汁是她最喜欢的饮料。 我不停地哭。因为我没买，这就是原因。 很快，妈妈和爸爸匆匆来到九号房间。 他们把米勒爷爷也带来了。 他们瞪大了眼睛看着我那满是斑点的长袍。

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Please don't yell at me," I said. "'Cause I'm already crying, see? Plus wearing this dumb clown gown will be punishment enough." Mother and Daddy didn't yell. They said we would talk about this problem later. After that, Mother helped me put on my cap and gown. And she hugged me very nice. Then Daddy grinned. And he said I look cute in dots. "She does look cute," said Grampa Miller. "And not only that, but when she goes on the stage, she'll be easy to spot." He winked at me. I did a giggle. 'Cause that man is a silly joker, that's why. Finally, Mrs. patted me. "Are you feeling better now, Junie B.?" she asked. "Are you ready to go back inside and

“对不起，对不起。请不要对我大喊大叫，”我说。 “因为我已经在哭了，明白吗？” 再说穿这件愚蠢的小丑礼服就够惩罚你了。” 妈妈和爸爸没有大喊大叫。 他们说我们以后再谈这个问题。 之后，妈妈帮我戴上帽子，穿上长袍。 她很好地拥抱了我。 然后爸爸笑了。他说我穿圆点衣服很可爱。 “她看起来确实很可爱，”米勒爷爷说。 “不仅如此，当她走上舞台时，很容易被认出来。” 他对我使眼色。我咯咯地笑了。 因为那人是个愚蠢的小丑，这就是原因。 最后，太太拍了拍我。“你现在感觉好点了吗，朱尼·b ?”她问。 “你准备好回去了吗？

be with your friends?" I shrugged kind of worried. "Sure she is! Of course she is!" said my grampa. "My goodness! This is Junie B. Jones!" After that, he stood me up straight and tall. And he faced me to my classroom. Then I breathed in a big breath. And me and Mrs. went back into Room Nine. Paulie Allen and Jim jumped out at me. "SURPRISE!" they hollered. "SURPRISE! SURPRISE!" "SURPRISE!" hollered my bestest friend named Grace. I looked at those people very shocked. Then my mouth came all the way open! 'Cause THEY HAD DOTS ON THEIR

和你的朋友在一起吗？”我耸了耸肩，有点担心。 “她当然是！她当然是！”我爷爷说。 “我的天哪!我是朱妮·B。 琼斯!”在那之后，他让我站直了。 他把我领到教室。 然后我深深地吸了一口气。 我和太太回到了九号房间。 保利·艾伦和吉姆向我跳出来。 “惊喜！”他们喊道。 “惊喜!惊喜!”“惊喜！”我最好的朋友格蕾丝喊道。 我看着那些人，非常震惊。 然后我的嘴就张开了！因为他们的

CLOTHES! JUST LIKE MINE! That Grace skipped all around. "It was Jim's idea, Junie B.!" she said. "Jim said that if all of us have spots, too, then you will feel better! And so Paulie Allen Puffer found the colored markers! And we colored our caps and gowns just like yours!" Grace looked at Mrs. "See us, Teacher? Aren't we beautiful? I colored red spots. And Jim colored blue spots. And Paulie Allen Puffer colored green spots," she said. Just then, William raised his hand. "And I'm coloring orange spots," he said kind of soft.

衣服!就像我一样！格蕾丝跳来跳去。 “这是吉姆的主意，朱妮·b !”她说。 “吉姆说，如果我们都有斑点，你就会感觉好一点！”于是保利·艾伦·帕弗找到了彩色马克笔！我们把帽子和长袍涂成和你们一样的颜色！”格蕾丝看着格雷丝太太。“看见我们了吗，老师？” 我们不是很漂亮吗？我把红色的点涂上颜色。 吉姆把蓝色的点涂上。 保利·艾伦·帕弗画出了绿色的斑点。” 就在这时，威廉举起了手。 “我在给橙色的点上色，”他说得有点温柔。

"And I'm coloring lavender spots!" said Charlotte. "And I'm coloring pink spots!" said my bestest friend Lucille. "'Cause pink brings out the natural blush of my cheeks." Mrs. smiled. Her smile kept on getting bigger. "Well, Junie B. Jones?" she said finally. "What do you think about all of this? Hmm?" My face beamed very joyful. "I THINK I LOVE THESE PEOPLE! THAT'S WHAT I THINK!" I hollered. Then Jim said, "Gross!"

“我在给薰衣草斑点上色！”夏洛说。 我最好的朋友露西尔说：“我正在把粉红色的斑点涂上颜色！” “因为粉色能衬托出我脸颊的自然红晕。” 太太笑了。她的笑容越来越灿烂。 “唔，朱妮·b·琼斯？”她最后说。 “你怎么看这一切？” 嗯?”我的脸上露出了喜悦的笑容。 “我想我爱这些人！”我就是这么想的！”我大声喊道。 然后吉姆说：“恶心！”

And Paulie Allen Puffer said, "Gross!" too. After that, all of Room Nine laughed and laughed. And this time … even me! Graduation finally got started. The Room Eight teacher walked up the steps of the stage. She said hello to all the people. Then Mrs. walked up the steps of the stage, too. She was still smiling. "Families and friends … I've been a teacher for a very long time," she said. "But in all my years of teaching, these are some of the most colorful graduates I've ever seen." Mrs. held out her arms. "Ladies and gentlemen, we are proud to present the graduates of Room Eight and Room Nine."

Paulie Allen Puffer也说：“恶心！” 在那之后，9号房间的所有人都笑了又笑。 这次，甚至是我！毕业典礼终于开始了。 八号房的老师走上舞台的台阶。 她向所有的人问好。 然后夫人也走上了舞台的台阶。 她还在微笑。“家人和朋友……我当老师已经很长时间了，”她说。 “但在我多年的教学生涯中，这些毕业生是我见过的最丰富多彩的。” 太太伸出双臂。“女士们，先生们，我们很荣幸地向大家介绍八号教室和九号教室的毕业生。”
